Movies marathon

I did something extraordinary yesterday with my sister. We watched three, I repeat, THREE movies in one day.

The Switch
Good actor and actress doesn't guarantee the movie will be any good. The plot is predictable, the flow of the story is very slow and there is nothing to look forward to in the movie. In fact, I yawned quite a few times in the cinema. Overall, I give 2/5 stars.




Eat, Pray, Love
This is the movie I have been waiting to watch since early this year. I heard a lot of good reviews about the book. I wanted to buy the book but I always don't have time to read it so I just waited for the movie. But eventually, I bought the book and it is still in the plastic bag. I know, I know. I will read it later. Back to the movie, it has a very simple plot but very insightful. The script is strong and I enjoyed every second of this movie. I am not a very big fan of drama movie but this movie deserves all the 5 out of 5 stars from me. Brilliant!




Charlie St. Cloud
This is a very touching movie. I can't imagine myself losing my siblings and make a promise to meet every sunset. It's mainly about letting go of something. In this case, letting go of a dead brother's spirit. I almost cried when the spirit told Charlie that it loves him and started to walk towards the 'light'. I've never been a fan of Zac Efron but I think he really shines in this movie and he got 4/5 stars from me.






We felt very satisfied and at the same time, my sister and I got to spend time to catch up and trading secrets. Maybe I'll be doing this again next month. Fingers crossed.

Love,
